SUMMARY:Vancouver Poetry House's Verses Festival of Words
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Verses Festival of Words is thrilled to return from April 27–May 2\, 2026\, at Chill X Studio. This year’s theme\, Intimate Dialogues\, examines how we share connections\, consume content\, and whisper resilience in the face of global silencing and genocide. The programming focuses on gathering\, community\, shared learning\, and amplifying voices in solidarity. \nHighlights include the return of the annual Canadian Individual Poetry Slam (CIPS)\, taking place over three nights and featuring a performance by Spin El Poeta. This year’s Oral Traditions\, an international Indigenous Poetry Slam\, will be co-produced by Derek Edenshaw\, Native Hip Hop Society\, Franz Seachel\, and Enabling Arts Society. \nOther festival favourites coming back include Famous Last Words from Death Rides a Unicorn\, a hilarious evening of poetry games featuring some of Canada’s favourite personalities. Mashed Poetics is one of the city’s longest running showcases that combines poetry with live music — an ensemble of Canada’s favourite poets create and perform poems inspired by musical hits performed by the Mashed Poetics cover band led by Spillious the Ridiculous.

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:Juliet & Romeo
DESCRIPTION:The Cultch presents Juliet & Romeo\, a humorous and heartfelt duet about love\, loss and longevity. \nWith Lost Dog’s unique blend of dance\, theatre and comedy\, this duet reveals the real story of Romeo and Juliet. It turns out they didn’t die in a tragic misunderstanding\, they grew up and lived happily ever after. Well\, they lived at least. \nNow they’re in their 40s\, at least one of them is in the grips of a mid-life crisis\, and they feel constantly mocked by their teenage selves and haunted by the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love. \nTo confront their current struggles\, they have decided to put on a performance — about themselves. Their therapist told them it was a terrible idea. \nDirected by Olivier Award-nominated Ben Duke\, Juliet & Romeo takes on our cultural obsession with youth and our inevitable issues with longevity. \nFor more information and tickets: https://thecultch.com/event/juliet-and-romeo/

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:Pippin the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of ‘spectacle and unease’ with Play On Words Productions’ gritty reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’ Pippin\, February 26th-March 7th at the Jericho Arts Centre \nSet inside a decaying nightclub suspended between life and death\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s search for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of battle\, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. Dark\, raw\, and reckless\, this production is a haunting exploration of purpose and desire\, leaving the audience to wonder: would they choose the fire\, or walk away? \nCONTENT ADVISORY: This show includes mature themes\, sexual suggestion\, dramatized violence\, and sensory elements (lighting and sound). We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:La Bohème
DESCRIPTION:One of opera’s most enduring love stories\, set in the world’s most romantic city\, rendered with the most vibrant characters and melodies. Puccini’s masterpiece transports us to the heart of 1890s bohemian life in Paris\, where love blossoms amidst dreams\, hardships\, and the unyielding pursuit of artistic freedom. La Bohème has remained one of the most beloved and frequently performed operas worldwide since its 1896 premiere\, due in large part to captivating pieces like “Quando m’en vo”\, a.k.a. “Musetta’s Waltz”\, and perhaps the most famous duet in opera\, “O soave fanciulla”\, sung on that moonlit moment when Mimì and Rodolfo fall in love.
